Thank you for this video! As a convert, it took me years to accept the authority of a papacy. I’m so thankful for the Augustine Institute!

The question " Is the pope Catholic?" is so relevant under the current Pontificate

[milagrosamistoso]

Thanks this is good to help understand the role of the pope and bishops and priests 🇨🇦

If we want better Popes, we need to be better Catholics. Most people that call themselves Catholic aren't even following the faith as they should.

2:00 How do you know what people in antiquity said ? who was the steno taking notes.?
I suggest the dialogue is just made up to make an allegory (story), not a verbatim word for word.

I think the ‘list’ of popes is better celebrated in St John Lateran - the papal cathedral of Rome - in mosaic portraits in roundels placed around the inside of the building.

It is high time, We have Indian Pope to lead the Catholics Worldwide. Let God our Heavenly Father grant this prayer. Amen.

If Simon's confession is the rock on which Jesus's Church is built, why did Jesus change Simon's name to Rock? If Simon's NOT the rock, it makes NO SENSE to change his name to Rock.

How about the wicked popes produced throughout the centuries..do people have to listen to their take..?

[R.C.]

I will not listen to the Pope if it contradicts what our Lord, says and if it leads me to sin?
No, I will not do that.

What about the youngest pope, he was about 20...hardly any experience to be giving people moral advice..amen

Catholicism is the post messianic Judaism and Judaism is infact pre messianic Catholicism

[Romans.-]

This Pope.. ambiguous.. confusion... antipope..
Pope Francis gave honor & thumbs up to artist who did Blasphemy against Crucifix, by putting Crucifix in urine.

Jesus Sacrifice on Cross, suffering so greatly, dying for love of us, to save us.

Francis brought pagan idols into Vatican, when faithful Catholic threw in river, Francis got angry, had idols retrieved.
